"It’s not a dream, I really do like you." Ning Zesheng finished speaking and asked again, "So, do you like me?"
"Ahhh..." Qiao Anlu reacted as if she’d seen a ghost, backing up a step behind the sofa, "Who asked for your affection? Are you trying to bully me again? Tie me up and throw me out, or... ahhhhh!" Qiao Anlu was screaming over and over, looking completely spooked.
Ning Zesheng was somewhat at a loss about how to respond to her reaction. Was this happiness or unhappiness?!
"Get up!" he said coldly.
Qiao Anlu promptly rolled under the sofa with a thud, playing dead!
Ning Zesheng was speechless at her silliness and finally let out a heavy sigh, "If you don’t get up, I will..."
Qiao Anlu shot up, "So, Mr. Ning, aren’t you mistaken? If you really liked me, would you want to hurt me?"
Qiao Anlu felt so wronged!
"Are you planning to throw me out the window again?"
"No!" Ning Zesheng shook his head, almost wanting to laugh; how grudging could she be to remember something from two years ago? "I mean, if you don’t get up, I’ll just sleep with you right here."
"Sleep... sleep..." Qiao Anlu looked at Ning Zesheng with an incredulous expression. How could he say such things, so seriously too? It was both embarrassing and bizarre, wasn’t it?
"Mr. Ning, please stop liking me, okay?" Qiao Anlu decided to negotiate properly.
Ning Zesheng raised an eyebrow slightly, displeased by what she said, "Do you really like Zhu Yiming? Is that why you’re rejecting me?"
"No, it’s not that I... it’s not because I like Doctor Zhu that I’m rejecting you, I reject you because..." Qiao Anlu gasped, not even sure what she was saying.
"Zhu Yiming personally told me you like me. Since we like each other, from now on, you’re my girlfriend!"
He decisively concluded, and Qiao Anlu was momentarily stunned. Hearing it from his mouth didn’t sound so bad, did it?
A moment later, she almost wanted to slap herself, "No, it’s not like that, Mr. Ning, we, we..."
Qiao Anlu was on the verge of tears. "If you’re my boyfriend, doesn’t that mean you’ll bully me every day?"
"I can promise never to bully you again!"
"But when I see you, I get scared. How could I have a relationship with you? Holding hands will be hard enough, let alone anything further!"
"I think our kiss just now was very fitting, and holding hands feels natural." Ning Zesheng had somehow taken her hand and lifted it in front of them.
"Ahhh..." Qiao Anlu once again acted horrified, retracting her hand.
"Since there’s no problem, from now on, you’re my girlfriend!" Ning Zesheng stepped forward and pulled her into his arms, "In the future, you can only dress up to see me, and you can’t meet any man alone!"
"What about filming?" Qiao Anlu instinctively asked, thinking this was unreasonable.
"There are always people around during filming. I don’t recall you had a habit of rehearsing scripts, even if you did, there’s no need to do it alone with someone!"
"Oh!" She instinctively responded, then realized something was off. How did she end up getting led along by him? She hadn’t agreed to be his girlfriend yet!
Just as Qiao Anlu was about to speak up in protest, Ning Zesheng bent down and kissed her again, then ruffled her hair, "Goodnight, dear!"
